What reading level is The Princess book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And, truly, waking dreams were, more or less, An old and strange affection of the house. Myself too had weird seizures, Heaven knows what:On a sudden in the midst of men and day, And while I walked and talked as heretofore, I seemed to move among a world of ghosts, And feel myself the shadow of a dream. Our great court-Galen poised his gilt-head cane, And pawed his beard, and muttered 'catalepsy'. My mother pitying made a thousand prayers;My mother was as mild as any saint, Half-canonized by al...l that looked on her, So gracious was her tact and tenderness:But my good father thought a king a king;He cared not for the affection of the house;He held his sceptre like a pedant's wandTo lash offence, and with long arms and handsReached out, and picked offenders from the massFor judgment. Now it chanced that I had been, While life was yet in bud and blade, bethrothedTo one, a neighbouring Princess: she to meWas proxy-wedded with a bootless calfAt eight years old; and still from time to timeCame murmurs of her beauty from the South, And of her brethren, youths of puissance;And still I wore her picture by my heart, And one dark tress; and all around them bothSweet thoughts would swarm as bees about their queen.
